Abstract
The goals of this study were to demonstrate the frequency of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome (PEXS) and PEX glaucoma (PEXG), and to determine whether limited screening for AAA in specific subgroups of patients with PEX is reasonable and justifiable. This prospective study comprised 60 patients with PEXS and 60 with PEXG (examined group), and 60 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 60 with cataract (control group). Clinical ophthalmic examination included slit-lamp biomicroscopy of the anterior segment and direct slit-lamp gonioscopy (using a Goldmann three-mirror lens) of the anterior chamber angle. All patients underwent routine Color Doppler duplex ultrasonography of the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the PEXG group and control group vis-a-vis presence of AAA, which occurred more frequently in patients with greater amounts of angle pigmentation (p < 0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated statistically significant associations between AAA and PEX (p < 0.01), angle pigmentation (p < 0.05), gender (p < 0.01), diabetes mellitus (DM) (p < 0.05), and arterial hypert...Continue Reading
